Compared to virgin Pd surfaces, up to 150% higher deNO(x) catalytic activity was observed with modified Pd surfaces at the reaction maximum. Molecular beam instrument and ambient-pressure photoelectron spectroscopy were employed to follow the kinetic and surface changes. These results open up a possibility to realize the cold-start reduction of NOx (deNO(x)). DeNO(x) activity reported in the literature with supported Pd catalysts after a simple calcination in air compares well with our present observations. Surface modification is likely to demonstrate a high potential for other catalytic reactions at relatively low temperatures.</p>10aheterogeneous catalysis10anitrogen10aoxygen10aPalladium10asurface chemistry1 aRoy, Kanak1 aGopinath, Chinnakonda, S.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/nox-reduction-near-ambient-temperatures-and-under-lean-burn-conditions-modified-pd-002870nas a2200265   4500008004100000022001400041245014500055210006900200260007100269300001400340490000600354520191100360653001202271653002802283653001302311653001402324653001902338653001702357653001402374653002502388100001502413700001602428700003002444856013002474       2014                        eng d  a2155-543500aTowards a sustainable and near ambient DeNO(x) under lean burn conditions: a revisit to no reduction on virgin and modified pd(111) surfaces0 aTowards a sustainable and near ambient DeNOx under lean burn con  a1155 16TH ST, NW, WASHINGTON, DC 20036 USAbAMER CHEMICAL SOCcJUN  a1801-18110 v43 a<p>Catalytic conversion of NO in the presence of H-2 and O-2 has been studied on Pd(111) surfaces, by using a molecular beam instrument with mass spectrometry detection, as a function of temperature and reactants composition. N-2 and H2O are the major products observed, along with NH3 and N2O minor products under all conditions studied. Particular attention has been paid to the influence of O-2 addition toward NO dissociation. Although O-2-rich compositions were found to inhibit the deNO(x) activity of the Pd catalyst, some enhancement in NO reduction to N-2 was also observed up to a certain O-2 content. The reason for this behavior was determined to be the effective consumption of the H-2 in the mixture by the added O-2 and O atoms from NO dissociation. NO was proven to compete favorably against O-2 for the consumption of H-2, especially &lt;= 550 K, to produce N-2 and H2O. Compared with other elementary reaction steps, a slow decay observed with the 2H + 0 -&gt; H2O step under SS beam oscillation conditions demonstrates its contribution to the rate-limiting nature of the overall reaction. Pd(111) surfaces modified with O atoms in the subsurface (Md-Pd(111)) induces steady-state NO reduction at near-ambient temperatures (325 K) and opens up a possibility to achieve room temperature emission control. A 50% increase in the reaction rates was observed at the reaction maximum on Md-Pd(111), as compared with virgin surfaces. Oxygen adsorption is severely limited below 400 K, and effective NO + H-2 reaction occurs on Md-Pd(111) surfaces. Valence band photoemission with a UV light source (He I) under different oxygen pressures with APPES clearly identified the characteristics of the Md-Pd(111) surfaces and PdO. The electron-deficient or cationic nature of Md-Pd(111) surfaces enhances the NO dissociation and inhibits oxygen chemisorption &lt;= 400 K under lean-burn conditions.</p>10adeNO(x)10aheterogeneous catalysis10aHydrogen10alean burn10amolecular beam10anitric oxide10aPalladium10asurface modification1 aRoy, Kanak1 aJain, Ruchi1 aGopinath, Chinnakonda, S.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/towards-sustainable-and-near-ambient-denox-under-lean-burn-conditions-revisit-no-reduction
